Подробнее +This strategy and action plan for rural development presents a timely opportunity to reassess the assistance strategy for poverty reduction in South Asia. This timing provided a useful impetus to reflect on what works, or do not, drew lessons of experience, and, integrated these lessons into the design of future programs. A valuable platform for extensive discussions evolved, and, fostered support for a holistic approach to rural development. Above all, the country-level rural development strategies, and action plans provided a valuable foundation for, and have been integrated into, the country assistance strategies in Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Key elements highlighted in this strategy are: enhancing human, and social capital development in rural areas, through an assistance program focused on health, nutrition, and education; facilitating rural, and non-farm growth and competitiveness, through policy, and regulatory reform support, including sectoral investments; fostering sustainable, and equitable use of water resources, through an assistance program in the water sector, and rural water supply and sanitation; and, improving natural resource, and environmental management, through an assistance program in the fisheries and forestry sector, for watershed development, and disaster management.
